ABOUT THE GAME:

The Wizards – Enhanced Edition allows gamers to travel in time as young wizards casting powerful spells to protect the Realm of Meliora from enemy forces. Gamers can explore deadly catacombs, wade through the sands of an oriental desert, fight orcs, smash goblins, and stand their ground when facing a gigantic dragon!

The game has a lot to offer those VR gamers who’ve been eagerly waiting for a title that will allow them to fully unleash their true sorcery potential. From the game’s unique casting mechanic that puts magic directly in the player’s hands, doing away with oh-so immersion-breaking pop-ups, button combinations, and other traditional systems, through fast-paced combat and environment exploration, to acclaimed narration and voice acting by Jason Marnocha, the game provides a fun and thrilling experience for any VR enthusiast.

In The Wizards – Enhanced Edition gamers are able to test the exceptional spellcasting mechanic based on elemental magic energy, where the key to victory is adapting your tactics to the flow of the battle, in two separate modes:

1. A now approximately six-hour-long, single-player Story Campaign featuring a whole new level, complete with a never-before-seen map, battles, and expanded lore. 2. And the exciting Arena Mode, offering challenging, endless battles.

Each mode features online scoreboards and a selection of game modifiers called Fate Cards that can change the game’s difficulty and rules to the player’s liking. Fate Cards increase replayability and accessibility, which makes the game satisfying for both challenge seekers and casual connoisseurs.

The Wizards – Enhanced Edition will also feature checkpoints and, as a bonus, character customization. This means that gamers who think it’s not only about casting spells but also doing it in style, will now be able to change the color of each of their magic gloves. But there’s more to it. The new glove design now also contains magical glyphs representing the gamer’s health status. All this increases immersion, so the player not only feels like a Wizard but can also truly become one.
